Actually
That particular phrase is from game theory. In most games, one party wins, and the other loses - a game of cricket, for example, would be win-lose. However, some situations can be described as win-win, as both parties gain - exploration companies like to describe the discovery of oil as win-win, for both themselves and the local communities.

But you're right, it has been completely bastardised by the press to simply mean 'a pleasant surprise'.

more or less means 'mutually beneficial'
which 'win' on its own does not.
