Yesterday, T3 reported on Apple App Store's landmark of having their 10 billionth app being downloaded. But there was no word on who had won the $10,000 (£6249) iTunes gift card.
And we're pleased to report, someone from Blighty has won it.
Apple has announced that a mother from Kent, whose daughters purchased the Paper Glider game from the online store, won the prize. Paper Glider by Neon Play is a free gaming app that allows players to see how far they can fly a paper plane.

Gail Davis told BBC Radio 5 Live, "I have to confess it wasn't me who downloaded it but my daughters."
She initially thought it was a prank and declined to take the phone call. She said, "I had that moment of blind panic but Apple kindly phoned me back and said I was a winner."
Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said, "With more than 10 billion apps downloaded in just two and a half years, a staggering seven billion apps in the last year alone, the App Store has surpassed our wildest dreams."
Apart from the Apple App store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, the Apple Mac App Store has also broken barriers of sorts after crossing 1 million app downloads on its opening day.
Add to the number of apps being downloaded from the App Store and buy T3's February 2011 iPad edition. Let us know if you already have the Paper Glider app via our Twitter and Facebook feeds and follow us for more tech news.
