You’ve done it again! :) Five million received postcards in five years, pretty neat, hum?
We know you’re all eager to know the details so here we go…
The five millionth postcard received through Postcrossing traveled from Elefantus in Italy to ployploy in Thailand. Lovely card, isn’t it?
Nobody guessed the right countries (from Italy to Thailand), so we’ll split the surprise between Elefantus and ployploy – congratulations!
PS – We apologize for the sudden drop in the countdown numbers towards the end – we had some unexpected cache issues that caught us by surprise, and didn’t allow us to make the magic screenshot we usually do on these events. Bummer!

This must be the best Hobby in the World - honestly !!
It is unbelievable, 5 millions postcards - I remember the 2 millions postcard... Congratulations!
What a great card for 5M!! At the rate we're going, we'll be celebrating 6 in just a couple of weeks! :)
congrats!!
Maybe a idea for a new contest; How long takes it for the next million? :))))
Congratulations, everyone! And I agree, it is a great card!
Like @tascosa, I think it is fantastic that the sent postcard is from someone who has been sending and receiving for eons (in Postcrossing age) to someone who is just beginning. And I am also thrilled that the postcard is **not** one that so many users would consider "real." I get a bit frustrated at the number of Postcrossers who note on their profiles they only want "real" postcards. There is no such thing as "fake" postcards!
So many guesses, and ended up in creative way, this is the magic of postcrossing!
Congratulations to both Elefantus and ployploy! Most importantly, everyone on this site for making that possible!
Congratulations!! Everyone! :D
Oh, congratulations to us all!! I'm so happy for being a part of this... It was so fast in the end:)
Right on! I gues sthe 6 millionth will be around XMAS time.
Congratulations to everyone!!
surprisily fast, countdown went down like thosaund, each time i on to this site

Congratulations for number 5.000.000!!!
It's a beautiful postcard
yay! =D
Congratulations everyone! Great card!
Now goals in the millions tivk off so fast who can do the math to figure how soon we'll be seeing a billion? 1,000,000,000!!!
Another thought is - remember these are only official cards - how many more in private swaps? We keep the postal workers of the world busy!!!
I completeley agree with heyjude!
If only you could add an option to register private swaps - this numbers would skyrocket.
Yay!
Congratulation to both of you and everybody ^-^
ยินดีด้วยค่ะ
Congratulations to the two lucky postcrossers (I'm sure this is a sign of good luck and joy! ), happy that the card was sent from my country and arrived on the other side of the world... =]
