The meaning is close to the English expression you mentioned. It says "It looks it's some holiday today" but IMHo this phrase doesn't fit perfectly in the exact situation. My suggestion:

Сегодня [определённо] мой день! (It's [definetely] my day today!) You can even combine the two phrases. Your character can say something like that:

Опа! На ловца и зверь бежит! Сегодня определённо мой день! /

Wow! To the hunter the prey runs! It's definetely my day today!

Thanks Basil.

I think you're right, it doesn't fit. The hunter/prey expression is perfect by itself.

But at least I know how to say "wow" in Russian now heh heh

Here several other ways to say "Wow!" in Russian:

Вот те на!
Оба на!
Ух ты!
О##еть!
...

There are some other several dosens or maybe even hundreds. The first one I mentioned fits even better in the context, and the last one is a F-word. There is a huge number of ways to express a [pleasant] surprise emotion with F-words, but I guess it's unnecessary to post all of them here

A hundred ways to say wow eh? ... wow! LoL
