If A Store Hands You The Wrong Amount of Money, Are You Legally Obliged To Return?

Here is what happened to me recently:

I was at a movie theater and I bought two tickets for $18.00
I gave the cashier a $20.00 and I was supposed to get back two $1.00
I instead got back two $10.00


Since I am honest I told the cashier the mistake and got my correct change back, I was just wondering... from a legal standpoint.. if I am required to hand it back? Or am I entitled to keep that money?
I know it's not mine.. I was just wondering if there is anything legal about my scenario that legally demands I return it.
