ashore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on land' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'has crushed mine winnings' is the wordplay.
'crushed' indicates an anagram.
'mine winnings' becomes 'ore' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'has' anagrammed gives 'ash'.
'ash'+'ore'='ASHORE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "Returned to land" , "Going on land from sea" , "Home for the sailor" , "Onto land (from the water)" , "Aground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
