The word is gekrogn. It's the past tense of the verb "krign" which means to "receive or obtain" but in this case is closer to get. It's one of those weird verbs where there's a vowel shift in the past tense.

Gewonnen also exists in Yiddish and is similar in meaning but is a different verb and is a lot less common than "krign"
