Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion wins by just surviving. I think he will, and I think that will leave him Lord of Casterly Rock. As I said earlier, Jaime's road to redemption can only go so far, but Tyrion is one of the most consistently honorable characters in the show, especially if you come at it from a libertarian perspective which sees his debauchery as non-coercive and thus at the very least karma mitigating. He twists arms, but that's limited to using his rivals' and other scoundrels' mistakes against them. The only real ding on him — and this isn't small — was killing Shea. In the karmic logic of tragedy, though, it was required and he has atoned for it by killing Tywin and being exiled. I think Tyrion is pardoned and restored to Casterly Rock in the denouement although what a twist if he remarries a Sansa who is happy to do so.
Might it really end with Tyrion married to Sansa? IDK Westerosi jurisprudence all that well, but their marriage might only be in need of consummation. Anyway, they were married once, and they could be married again. Moreover, it would make sense. What better way to end the conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters by marrying a Stark to a Lannister and joining the houses? I don't why I think this, but I think that if Sansa and Tyrion do wind up married, they will either be at Casterly Rock or Winterfell, and someone else will be on the Iron Throne.
