Look at that — we did it, everyone! Together we reached the much awaited milestone of 60 million postcards received! Hurray!
A postcard might not seem like much by itself, but all these millions of postcards carrying our words and handwriting are such important tokens of friendship and connection in these socially distanced times. Traveling is difficult right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t share a moment with someone far away and take a peek through their window… right here in our mailboxes.

And did you know that if we put all these postcards together side by side, we would get a line stretching from London to Seoul? 🤓 Pretty cool, right? But I know you’re all dying to know who guessed the correct time at which lucky postcard 60 million was registered, so without further ado…
Postcard number 60,000,000 (BY-2711325) was sent by YourWitch in Belarus on January 10 2021, and registered today at 10:17:18 (UTC) by Tominni in Czechia!

The postcrosser with the most accurate aim was chrisbonham11, whose guess was spot on! Your shiny new box of 100 postcards will be on its way soon!
The other lucky postcrossers who came the closest to the right second were Dorkius, NZ_Chris, mathalie, majewski, Shih-chia, and stokely — brilliant! You will each receive a set of nice postcards as well.
Whether you’ve sent 1 or 10,000 postcards in the past 15 years, you have our permission to celebrate your contribution to this historical milestone with a celebratory slice of your favorite treat (share it with us on Instagram!)… or just by sitting down at your desk and enjoy sending a postcard today, knowing you’re part of this postcard revolution happening all around us. 😊
And last but not least, if you’ll allow us our weepy moment, we’d just like to say thank you to our lovely team (including all the forum volunteers), to all the supporters and ambassadors, and last but not least, to all of you — you’re the reason Postcrossing keeps going, postcard after postcard. Onwards, to 70 million postcards!

To the winners: enjoy your postcards!
What a wonderful achievement 🎉
Congratulations to all the winners 💐
I think we are all winners though, as we send and receive good wishes and love to and from all round the world 🌍. Each small postcard spreads joy - in the sending, in the receiving, in the writing, in the reading, in the viewing 😀.
To the Postcrossing Team I say thank you 👏👏👏 for all you hard work in keeping this site running. The sense of connection we get from this site despite this unusual era of isolation we are all experiencing, is just simply priceless.
Hurray to the 6million card 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations to Postcrossing and the wonderful team for the great achievement!
I have stopped the postcrossing for a period of time and re-started it in 2021 as it is one of my main goal of the new year!. I received this good news when I am writing my postcards to send out. It is really a great encouragement and happy to be one of the postcrosser.
Congratulations to Chrisbonham11 too and hope I will be one of the lucky postcrosser to receive one of your 1000 postcards in the winning box 😀.
Postcrossing is the ultimate *pay it forward* and we are all winners with this amazing site. Thanks to all.
Congratulations everyone!

I tried to stay up to see you/us reach the 60 million milestone but it was so late and registrations had slowed way down. The countdown was around 1400 when I finally went to bed around 3am EST. :-)
My part in it is roughly 5000...half sent by me, half received by me.
Here's to the next 60 Million!
Thank you to The Great team.
Thank you to The Forum volunteers.
Thank you to The Supporters.
Thank you to The Ambassadors,
And Congratulations to The Winner Chrisbonham11 for be the winner.
I will open a bottle of wine tonight, OK
Cheers!
