How do I use the SUMIFS function with the OR function?

I am trying to sum the total of amounts listed in column 1 if a specific name is in column2, or column3, or column4, or column5, or column6 AND the column7 ="won".

Names can be listed in multiple columns in a single row. I want to avoid double counting an amount.

I cannot seem to find a similar formula but I read it is possible to use the "OR" function within a "SUMIFS" function.

It is possible to use an OR function in a SUMIFS, but it is not the correct solution for this particular case. My suggestion would be to use a helper column that joins each of the name columns into a string and then incorporate a CONTAINS function into the SUMIFS while pointing at this new helper column.
