Countdown to 3 million postcards
If you didn't notice yet, we are just a few thousand postcards away for reaching the postcard 3 million in Postcrossing!
Little over 6 months ago we could hardly believe we were celebrating 2 million Postcrossing postcards. And now, we are already speeding through another million - can you believe it?
As always, we like to celebrate this important milestones of the project with you, and this time is no exception. And a party without gifts is hardly a party so, we have something special to offer!
The lovely people behind Int'l Girl Aerogrammes have generously offered a few of their cool Aerogrammes to celebrate the 3,000,000 postcards. An Aerogramme is a letter that folds up into is own envelope - this is perfect for mail junkies such as ourselves, and theirs are specially cute. So what do you do to get one of these Aerogrammes packs? Read on.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your best guess about from which country will the postcard 3 million be sent from and where it will go to (example: From Singapore to Brazil). Simple, right? The first to guess it correctly will be the winner of a pack of Int'l Girl Aerogrammes! Only one guess per person is allowed! We will announce the details of the lucky postcard when it gets registered.
Oh, and both the sender and receiver of that magic postcard 3 million will also receive Aerogramme packs, so be sure to keep your pen busy!
PS: If you hang out on the forum, be sure to check this related thread for more ways to celebrate this milestone!

How many possibilities there are?
There are 202 countries joining the postcrossingproject, but not all of them have active members. But in theory they might sent cards. Although Botswana, Nicaragua, Niue, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Smaller territories of Chili & same UK don't have users (but have sent out card in the past).
196 countries left. They can all sent to 195 countries. = 38,202 possibilities.
To sent a card within the same country there must be 2 members at least who marked the box: sent and receive within your own country.
So that will not be possible for countries with one user. 196 - 21 = 175
So there is a total of 38,377 possibilities of country-combinations.
When I forgot something please respond!!!
The best chance to win is to select two large countries. But it's not wise if you like to win to choose countries someone before already picked. Then you are absolutely sure you won't win at all! Never mind the lol for it. But...
What might be the best bet? One of your cards sent to a smaller country, which might arive between WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY.
Or select some of the less larger countries and a smaller...
And there are still combinations of countries that are not mentioned!
I LOVE this competition!
I wish you lot of fun too!!
Would be nice when number 3,000,000 turns up we all scream in our gardens or balcony - like the winning goal at football!
Let's try! From.. China to Spain :)
Lovely postcards!!!
congrats on the 3,000,000!
