It's "to the victor go the spoils." The spoils of victory are the extra bonuses, perks, and treasure you get for winning.
In the old days of war, the winning army pretty much got to loot the countryside and take what they wanted--wealth, harvest, women, whatever. Those would be the spoils of victory. In a relatively civilized setting, we use it more symbolically or metaphorically. The winner (victor, the victorious one, the one who gets the victory) gets whatever benefits go with the actual winning of the title, prize, award, office, or event. They could be formal or informal--that is, they could be a designated part of the prize (a gold medal, a contract with an athletic equipment manufacturer) or just tag along with it (celebrity status, free gifts, media attention, boost in their love life).
This is an old saying about winners of wars. It says simply that the winners of a war enjoy the spoils (i.e. property) of the losers. Some people applied it unfavorably to Jackson when he used the power of the Presidency to appoint various government officials to choose people that he knew to be friendly to him. He believed that a government job was a privilege and not a right and that anyone of of normal ability could do most government jobs. Therefore he dismissed the old workers and brought in new ones that he favored. Nowadays we have a civil service commission to administer low level jobs-- not so may jobs are filled by presidential appointment.
