Its always possible to get protection.
Use protection.

From the Otho Evra website:
"What should I do if a patch seems loose, partially lifts off of my skin, or falls off?
Do not try to reapply a birth control patch if it is no longer sticky; if it has been stuck to itself or another surface; if it has other material stuck to it; or if it has become loose or has fallen off before.
For less than 24 hours: Try to reapply your patch or apply a new patch immediately. No backup contraception is needed and your "Patch Change Day" will remain the same.
For more than 24 hours, or if you are not sure for how long: Start a new
4-week cycle immediately by applying a new patch. You now have a new Day 1 and a new "Patch Change Day". You must use backup contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of your new cycle because you may become pregnant during this time."
I would say that yes, you weren't protected, at least fully. So there's a possibility. Emergency contraception will work for up to five days afterward. Or, if you're morally opposed to that, wait until you're supposed to get your period and take a test.
Hope everything works out for you. In the future make sure you're more careful with your birth control!

It's unlikely, but any time you have sex, you run the risk of getting pregnant. What I would do is wait about a week and take a pregnancy test.
From now on, if you don't want to risk becoming pregnant, use a condom and try to get on birth control, too.
I'm not sure how well the patch works...
