The average app in the app store makes less than $3k per year.
And would take several hundred hours of hard work to build, market and support.
A "Killer App" - Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, Spotify or whatever would take many thousands of hours with a large team of people.
For example, Clash of Clans which generated $2.5M per day in 2013, for SuperCell ( who were founded in 2010 and sold for $2.1B in 2013) was developed by a team of 6 people but they had $12M in funding and were part of a bigger company.
So in short .... killer apps do not just appear ... they are carefully built and marketed by large professional teams.

I pretty much stopped buying lines when they doubled in price from £1 to £2, and I believe the odds of a jackpot are now even lower than before.
