Hi, franklin,

"Have you won a soul?" is correct.

"You have won" is present perfect tense, and uses the past participle of the verb.

"You win" is simple present tense. The form changes for 3rd person singular: "He wins."

With the present perfect, the participle stays the same, and the "have" changes: "He has won."
