Today we’re announcing a different kind of contest! Some of you might have noticed we’re fast approaching the 10 million received postcards milestone. We’re quite excited about it, and to celebrate this achievement, we’re having a guessing game!

It goes like this: every member has a chance to bet on the day and time on which the postcard number 10 million will be registered. The user with the closest guess gets the prize: a coupon for 120 postcards, an awesome offer from MOO!

All you have to do is go to the 10 million postcard page, and place your bet!

Each time slot can only be chosen by one person, so the first user to pick that slot gets to keep it. You can change it at a later stage, if you want, but only from the available time slots left. We will close the bets when there are 1,500 postcards left to postcard 10,000,000. There are some more rules, which you can see on the contest page.

So what are you waiting for? Give it a go, and good luck! :)

I’m sure you’re anxious to hear about the results for the House of St Junior giveaway! Here are Scott and Neil, the inventors of the postframe, drawing the names out of their magic helmet:

And the lucky postcrossers are…

…CamJP, Fiona89 and SecretSquirrel1904!

Congratulations to the 3 winners, and as always, thank you to everyone who participated!

We’ll be back this weekend with another giveaway – stay tuned! :)

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!

Another million postcards received already?! :D

This means it’s time for another mini-contest! So tell us, which countries do you think the postcard 5000000 will be sent from and received in?

Hurry, less than 20000 postcards to go!

PS – Only one guess per person please! And yes, there will be some surprises for the first person who guesses the combination, so be original! :)

WOW! The response to June’s contest was amazing, we had almost 300 very creative submissions… which made the task of choosing just three of them a very hard job!

The Postcrossing team has chosen the following captions as the winners of MOO's postcards:

Caption: “New flight attendant uniforms for budget airline Dot-to-Dot Air” by ezbub

Caption: “After several viewings of Castaway, Jack began to grow comfortable with his unique love” by katier

Caption: “You clean, I’ll pour” by wakegrace

Congratulations to our three lucky winners and thank you to everyone who participated!

The month of July is a very special month for Postcrossing, and we’ll be back soon with another fun contest and more MOO postcards to give away!
