Evolution does not result in "winners". If a nuclear winter wipes out all humans, leaving only rodents to rule the Earth, I won't call the rodents "winners" or humans "losers". But the Q is still legit, and the answer depends on whether we think we live in a simulation or not.😊

I would absolutely call the rodents the winners.

The rodents don’t have the cephalization required to understand winning/losing thus making this scenario moot

Even if the rodents have the concept of winning and losing, it is still misleading, as long as we are discussing a process called "evolution". It has no concept of, nor the intent/goal of picking winners or losers.

Winners live and losers die out, that's just as simple as that. Evolution.
