Billion App Countdown

It was bound to happen, Apple has served up it's billionth download from the App Store. I was a little confused however to how the winner was selected. From my own interpretation of the Apple website I thought each download entered you for a chance to win, however, it seemed that the actual person to download the billionth application was pronounced the winner. (Similar to the iTunes contest they had a few years ago). One lucky thirteen year old won a new laptop, an iPod, and a $10,000 gift card for iTunes! I guess he won't be getting in trouble any time soon because of illegal downloading... He's set. I just wish it was me...
