Handout vs. Handouts

INCORRECT CORRECT
She gave us lots of useful handout.
She gave us los of useful handouts.

"Handouts" is a countable noun and, therefore, must take the plural form after "lots of". However, both countable and uncountable nouns can follow "lots of," for example "handouts" and "money."
