24 cans he probably only won a few more cans. The chance of winning a big prize is very low. He should have just stolen as many cans as possible.

I dunno the odds for the other product cans there, but if he'd headed to the Cambodia beer (back left in pic) he probably could score a 1 in 3 chance of a free beer ringpull and thereby not have to carry heaps of boxes out with him.

After a bit of a drought for a few months there, Cambodia Beer is like 1 in 2 now.
