Hellmann's Invites Fans to Test their Team's Luck with the Lucky Sandwich Ahead of Summer Soccer Games

In partnership with food creator Keith Lee and a real-life lucky person, Hellmann's brings together globally recognized "lucky" ingredients in one craveable sandwich

HOBOKEN, N.J., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world tunes in for the summer soccer games, Hellmann's is tapping into fan superstitions. From lucky jerseys to pre-game routines, fans everywhere lean into rituals to back their teams. Now, Hellmann's, a brand known for elevating everyday meals, is giving those rituals a new form with the debut of the Lucky Sandwich, crafted for fans looking for some extra luck while fulfilling their match day cravings.

Inspired by globally recognized traditions tied to luck, fortune, and prosperity, the Lucky Sandwich brings together ingredients known for good fortune, including crispy black-eyed peas symbolizing good luck, a sweet grape glaze inspired by traditions associated with fortune and success, paired with turkey, bacon, arugula, and Hellmann's rich, creamy mayo on a toasted croissant to bind all the luck together in one craveable bite.

To bring the Lucky Sandwich to life, Hellmann's partnered with Keith Lee, the trusted creator known for his honest reviews and great taste in food, and Nick Hunter, a real-life lucky charm who has helped others win up to $1 million through his streak of successful lottery picks. With Keith's food expertise and Nick's extraordinary luck, Hellmann's Lucky Sandwich is the ultimate must-try match day recipe.

"I'm always looking for food that delivers on taste, and with the Lucky Sandwich, we wanted to take ingredients tied to luck around the world and turn them into something fans would actually crave on match day," said Keith Lee. "Hellmann's rich, creamy mayo is what brings those unexpected flavors together into one sandwich fans can make, share and put to the test before kickoff."

"Fans already have rituals they rely on before their team's match, whether it's wearing the same jersey, sitting in the same spot or eating the same meal," said Jessica Grigoriou, SVP of Marketing, Condiments at Unilever North America. "With the Lucky Sandwich, Hellmann's is turning globally recognized symbols of luck into something tangible and delicious, bringing fans together through food and giving them a new way to show up for their teams on match day."

Hellmann's is inviting fans to put the Lucky Sandwich to the test and see if one bite can help change their team's outcome.
