It’s not just the 50 billionth download from the Apple App Store that will be a winner. The next 50 app downloads will also win you a $500 Apple App Store gift card.

While the Apple $10k prize is amazing, before you start downloading random apps like crazy you should know the rules. Teenagers can join in the fun, since the minimum age is 13.

The other big limitation for seeking the Apple $10k prize is that only 25 app downloads per day per Apple App Store account will be counted as entrants to the Apple App Store contest.
