Apple is taking the old sharing is caring phrase to heart. The Cupertino crew is on the brink of hitting its ten billionth download for the Mac App Store — you know, the desktop version of its highly successful mobile store. Here’s the good news: if your download is the ten billionth, you win a $10,000 iTunes gift card.
Here’s what you need to know. The 10 Billion Apps Countdown Promotion is open to entrants who are 13 years or older at the time of entry and legal citizens of a participating country. There’s no purchase necessary, so feel free to have a stab at some free apps to enter (or our list of paid apps). Before you go downloading the entire App Store, keep in mind that you are limited to 25 entries per per per day.
At the time of reporting the story, the App counter reads 9,775,031,175 and is currently going at a rate of about 1,000 apps every two seconds or a million apps every 33 minutes. If you are serious about winning this iTunes gift card we suggest forming a team adding a little math to your strategy.
In the unlikely event that like Neo, you are the chosen one, go ahead and give us a shout. We’d love a snap of that $10,000 iTunes Gift card in hand. As a valued reader, you deserve to be rewarded. So what’s the plan ladies and gents?
