The Platform Lottery represented a game of chance that Neeku Vozo, the mechanic, regarded as a challenge to be victorious in lottery. In the year 34 ABY, while they were located on the Colossus supertanker fuel depot, Vozo and Kazuda Xiono, who was a Resistance agent, were in search of the children named Kel and Eila, with the intention of collecting the bounty of 20,000 credit offered for their capture. During this endeavor, Vozo expressed his opinion that locating the two children was unlikely, likening their prospects to the improbability of achieving victory in the Platform Lottery on two separate occasions.
The animated television show Star Wars Resistance featured a reference to the Platform Lottery in "The Children from Tehar," which constitutes the sixth episode within the first season. This particular episode was originally broadcast on November 4, 2018.
