Man Wins $ 10,000 Beer Ringpull at his House Warming Party

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Well fuck, I just bought a slab of Cambodia and opened the first can, I pull the ringpull and it's BLANK - not so much as an អរគុណ. I feel cheated.

EDIT: oh shit, second can too. This slab is defective. The box has the promotion all over it, too.

Was just walking past my regular beer vendor, and one of his customers is in front, counting 4,000,000 riel (yes, almost $1k). That might have been me if I hadn't bought a slab from the guy downstairs instead. And he also said yes, the losing ringpulls don't have Or Kun on them any more.

Sorry for picking up an old thread. I need an advice on the last picture here. Was it a some kind of winner? Friend of mine got similar one with number 10 on it. So far khmers are telling different stories - from 10k riels to 10 millions. Some try to exchange it for 20bucks. So what does it mean?

As the post immediately above it says, it was (roughly) $1000.
