Dutch Victory
See also: “Dutch Surrender”
A scenario where the outcome of a contest is clearly unknown, but the individual involved (typically a Dutchman) is distracted by an innocuous task and exits abruptly without warning, but later claims victory.
Possible Historical origin- Battle of Gasselterboerveenschemond, where the Dutch infantry fled during a Wallonian military advance in order to “Head home to oil their windmills.” Yet later claiming victory in the history books.

I’ll take $200 Guilder for passing go and now I must leave to put new lacquer on my shoes.
But we’re in the middle of Monopoly.
I still win, I have the most hotels.
