Apple has announced another promotion celebrating the 25 billionth download from the App Store. As the huge milestone draws near, Apple is encouraging customers to enter to win a $10,000 App Store gift card for hitting the lucky number.

If you’re fortunate enough to download the 23 billionth app, you could win $10,000 to spend in the App Store!

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.

You can manually fill out an official entry form to be considered. Anyone who downloads an app from the App Store will also be entered automatically. Apple notes that “the downloading of the 25 billionth app is considered to be either the downloading of the 25 billionth app from the App Store or the receipt of the non-purchase entry after the download of the 24,999,999,999th app, whichever comes first.”

The last time Apple promoted such a contest was when the App Store hit 10 billion downloads in January of 2011. The last winner was Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK. She won $10,000 from Apple for downloading the free Paper Glider app.

What app will when this time?
