Not necessarily. If you are Bowling scratch, which means just your total pin count versus your opponent's total pin count, then yes the highest score wins. However if you are bowling with handicap, extra pins to help make it an even match, then even though you may have bowled the higher score, if your opponent has enough pins of handicap, they may beat you. There is an example listed below.

Bob's Average is 210

Tim's Average is 180 but he he gets 27 pins of handicap per game

Using 90% of the difference between average and 210.

Bob's Scores: 212, 218, 225 = 655 series

Tim's Scores: 195, 192, 190 = 577 series

By these scratch scores, Bob has beaten Tim by 78 pins.

However if you add the handicap in (27 pins a game x 3 games), the results are different.

Bob's Scores: 212, 218, 225 = 655 series

Tim's Scores: 195, 192, 190 = 577 series + 81 pins = 658

Tim Now now beaten Bob by 3 pins.

In a singles lawn bowling game how many points do you need to win?

It depends on how the heads up scoring is setup. If you are just bowling heads up, then total pin count is all that is important, this would be scratch. If you are bowling with handicap, you take the total scratch pin count and add handicap, the higher score wins. If you are bowling in the Peterson System, with a per game point system, then the person with the most points at the end would be the victor.
