    Contact your bank tell them what happened and ask for advice.

    If the machine was inside a shop, is it maybe one of those that has a transaction limit - there's one in our local hospital that only gives out fivers and you can only take out up to £25. Can you do a balance check or order a mini statement and see if the rest is still in your account?
