The App Store is about to hit another major milestone, 25 billion downloads. And just like in the past, the lucky app downloader can win big.
Apple is offering a $10,000 App Store gift card to the contest winner.
There are two different ways to win. The first, and simplest, is to download an app from the App Store. You can also enter without downloading an app by filling out a free, alternate entry page on the contest website. Only 25 entries per iTunes account, per day will be allowed using either method.
The winner will be, whichever comes first, the person who downloads the 25 billionth app or whomever sends the alternate entry form after the downloading of the 24,999,999,999th app.
Just to put in perspective how many apps have been downloaded, Apple offered a similar contest just a little more than a year ago for the 10 billionth downloaded app.
Laughably, the winner of that contest, Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK, hung up on a congratulatory call from Apple VP of iTunes, Eddy Cue. Davis thankfully took a call a few hours later when someone else from Apple dialed her.
To see all the official rules and regulations, you can visit the promotion's website.
