A while ago we were noting the absence of NJ Lottery television hostess Hela Young, speculating on one of the other hosts being groomed as her eventual replacement. During tonight's 7:56 p.m. drawing, one of the other hosts, Renai Ellison, had the sad duty of announcing that Ms. Young passed away today after what was termed "a long illness".
I have been trying to track down some more information, but Hela was the lottery's TV hostess for almost 25 years before having to cede her position sometime last fall. To the end, Hela performed her duties with glamor and aplomb. She will be missed by anyone who ever put a dollar on the Pick-3.
