Apple are on an official countdown to find the one billionth Apple Store download. The promotion offers a brilliant prize for that one person, with a prize fund worth over $13,000 ($13,746 to be precise). The winner will receive one 17′ MacBook Pro; one iPod Touch 32GB; one $10,000 iTunes Gift Certificate; and an Apple Time Capsule.

Now i know that some of you reading this will be saying “well that sounds great, but I don’t download anything from iTunes?”….Well don’t sweat, because in this promotion you don’t actually have to buy anything to enter. Yes, you can enter to win without a purchase!

There are three valid ways to enter:

• Downloading an app from the App Store gets you automatic entry
• Downloading an app from the App Store on your iPhone or iPod Touch gets you automatic entry
• Fully completing an online entry form (non-purchase method)

So now, there is no reason not to be a part. Visit the Apple website here for more information (you’ll also see the ever-increasing tally of downloads which if your a smart cookie, will alow you to enter at the right time).
