Apple begins 50 billion App Store downloads countdown
"As of today, nearly 50 billion apps have been downloaded worldwide. And we couldn't have done it without you. So we want to say thanks," says Apple, which is offering a $10,000 App Store Gift Card to the person who downloads the 50 billionth app.
Those who download the first 50 apps after that milestone will also get a prize - a $500 App Store Gift Card.
The App Store for iOS devices launched in July 2008, and offers over 800,000 apps (according to Apple as of March 2013). The App Store currently serves apps to iOS powered devices including iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and iPad Mini.

C00KIEZZZ does this include free apps or 69p+ apps?
I'm assuming Free apps count, it says downloaded, not bought.

Vap-LOST- How in the world would someone spend 10k in the app store.
That's what I was thinking, you can only buy so much on games/music/ect.
I'm sure someone will be able to spend that in like a day

The-Doctorslapshot101Danimals That's really cool but what are the chances of you getting it.
The chance of winning any prize in the competition is about 1 in 4,901,960. So good luck.
How did you calculate that?
I calculated it by: getting the overall number of apple accounts out there, which is about 250,000,000 people who have the oppturnity to get an app and there are 51 prizes so I divide those two numbers and get the 1:4,901,960 odds.
