I'd probably just say "Oops, you gave me a bit too much!" while handing the extra back to the cashier. Or maybe "I think you might have miscounted." I can't think of a phrase that would be used offhand like we have if a cashier shortchanges us.
@owlwings is really good with questions like this, so perhaps he'll be able to help out here.

It happened twice a cashier gave me more change. Of course I returned it to him/her. Thank you.

It's probably because more people tend to short-change instead of the opposite. Thank Owlwings.

The change is too much.
Hope this helps some @yanzalong

I would just say they gave me too much money back. If someone didn't give you back enough change, you could say they short-changed you.
