Almost the only times I tell someone they are lucky, are a) they escaped an accident or other trouble without a scrape (they always agree) or b) they have great kids (never had anyone do anything but smile at that). I know quite well how much work it was to raise such great kids, but it's not always the right moment to go into that.
That said, some people grew up hearing certain phrases, which leap to their mouths when something surprises them about another person. Like an excellent shot. Or being retired early. Or not being overweight.
I'd just say "Thanks."
