Apple Celebrating 25 Billion App Store Downloads With $10,000 iTunes Gift Card Prize

About a year ago, Apple celebrated the download of the ten-billionth App Store app by gifting the downloader of that app a $10,000 iTunes gift card. Now, it’s doing a similar thing to celebrate 25 billion apps sold. A new counter has appeared on Apple’s official web site alongside this text:

As of today, nearly 25 billion apps have been downloaded worldwide. Which is almost as amazing as the apps themselves. So we want to say thanks. Download the 25 billionth app, and you could win a US $10,000 App Store Gift Card. Just visit the App Store and download your best app yet.

MacRumors explains that there’s two ways to win this promotion: (a) be lucky enough to grab the 25 billionth app or (b) fill out this entry form. Whoever downloads the app or submits the entry form after the 24,999,999,999th app is sold wins. Maybe it’ll be you, eh? Just remember who told you about this.
