 Not quite. All XFL players received a stock salary. However, there was a bonus paid out to the winning team of each game (I think it was something in the realm of $1000 per player, it could easily have been less), and then, of course, the winners of the championship game (it ended up being Tommy Maddux's Los Angeles team, I think) split a one-million-dollar jackpot.

This concept wasn't unique to the XFL, either. Roller Hockey International paid their players according to a \"prize money\" format when they operated in the 1990's as well. I don't remember if they got per-win money (I think they may have), but I know that players were awarded a bonus based on end-of-season standings and playoff performance.
