Cost of a single copy of "your" newspaper

I was back in Chicago recently, helping my in laws move, and I noticed that with the Chicago Tribune print edition (my in laws still subscribe, although not for the lottery numbers). Too early of a deadline for lottery numbers — or last night’s baseball game, for that matter.

Instead, the Tribune has one of those QR codes in place of where the lottery numbers used to be. “Scan this with your phone to get the lottery numbers,” it says in each day’s paper. I’m guessing a lot of those readers who still subscribe to print don’t know what to do with that.
