Spoils luck, accepting nothing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loot

'spoils' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'luck accepting nothing' is the wordplay.
'luck' becomes 'lot' ('lot' can be a synonym of 'luck').
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'lot' going around 'o' is 'LOOT'.

(Other definitions for loot that I've seen before include "Pillage; money" , "Steal property (in war)" , "Stolen goods" , "Haul" , "Plunder and ransack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
