Bits and Pieces: Lotto Hit Aids Small Printer

Incredibly, Mason plunked down just $2 total when she bought it at Ocracoke Station. When she collected her winnings, she revealed what plans she had for her modest windfall: She will reinvest the money in her printing company.

While $10K won't get you much in terms of high-impact equipment, a payday like that can mean the world to a small print shop owner. Even if it's just a downpayment or enough to bring in tabletop gear or binding equipment, the competitive edge it provides—particularly to a small shop—is immeasurable. Congratulations, Valerie, and good luck with your investment.
