Sure. It would probably still go fine of course but they just wouldn't be hitting the jackpot the way the first ones did.
But I also don't think any of them would care that they were used in a stunt. These are people who traveled over land from South America. This means crossing the Darrien gap, dealing with smugglers, and travelling the entire length of central America.
