Trigger.oldMap.get(lo.id).Zip_Code__c // problem is here
Trigger.oldMap.get() return sobject, first type cast it to object on which you are writing trigger then use that variable to reffer its Fields "Zip_Code__c".

like this

trigger Winning on Opportunity (before update) { 
for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {
Opportunity oldOpp = Trigger.oldMap.get(opp.Id); // see here
}
}

 or directly use String.valueof(Trigger.oldMap.get(lo.id).Zip_Code__c)  != String.valueof(lo.Zip_Code__c) .
