Well, the original plan was to take out 5x20, provided that the machine gives me a chance to choose. I aim as near 100 euros as possible; if I get 2x50 on my 1st try, I guess I'll have to make a second transaction, 3x20 (or 3x10 if there are any 10s). Gee, this is getting more complicated than I thought. Let's just hope that I don't miss my flight due to this experiment... playing with an ATM :lol:

By the way, any suggestions for the 1st prize, if somebody hits the jackpot and guesses all of them correctly? And please don't say a 500-euro-note from Annie...

A 200€ bill will be fine. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Kidding!
I suggest a set of 20€, 10€, 5€ bill. Or a 50€ bill. If there are two same entries, split the money! :) Like it?

Ha-ha... this is a two-stage competition: first you have to guess all the national codes correctly, then there's a second round where at least 70 % of the numbers of each note have to be correct. THEN we'll discuss the prize money. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And tomorrow is the big day, unfortunately I'll have access to computer only on Tuesday morning.

And the winner is… AIRIS!

I got 6 bills (100 euros), and three of them were German plus three Italian. Airis had predicted 3S+1P+1X, so he got 4 out of 6 correct. Congratulations!

Almost every month. However, this was the first time I noticed the euro-distributing ATM. And I just took a look at the registered Swedish notes here in EBT and realised that somebody else had done the same thing. He had got German and Finnish notes. I was really surprised as well that there weren't any Finnish notes in my batch but Italian ones. But hey, I told you to take a WILD guess...

Well, the impression that I have at the moment is that it's a close race, could go either way, and a lot depends on the world/Europe affairs of the very near future. My Swedish contacts are mainly young people who travel a lot and it's obvious they'd like to start using euros as soon as possible. Also my niece and nephew are waiting anxiously: no more paying commission at the bank for the amount of euros which they manage to rip off Auntie Annie.
