Those two amounts could have been anything. 100k I grant you would have been likely to have been there and subsequently taken, but he couldn't be 100% sure. He wasn't in there before to see the numbers before they were blanked out to him.

BUT that's not the point. He suspected a twist and in the knowledge of that, chose what he considered his lucky number out of a pool of lucky numbers - consisting of 4s and 8s - and hoped that by choosing something superstitiously lucky he would end up in a good spot. It paid off. He's a clever man and he must have realised that since this is Secrets and Lies, that there's a chance this task was bogus, and again, with that knowledge, relied on luck to see him through. That's the point. Be as nihilist as you want, but that's what he said, didn't lie about, and has been consistent about.
