    счастлив = happy
    удачен - shounds wrong in this context. You can have an "удачный день" or "удачный выстрел", not an "udachny you".
    Удачлив is okay. Well, still wouldn't say that. I'd say in a cowboy style: "Я безумно удачливый сукин сын, что тебя нашёл".

    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    Now let's make a compliment to the parents of the girl:
    "You are very lucky that you have such wonderful daughter"

    This time vam povezlo doesn't sound so nice. Correct?
    It's better to use kratkuiu formu: Vy ochen udachlivyi, chto u vas naskolko prekrasnaya doch'.
    Correct?
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    No. "Вам повезло, что у вас такая прекрасная дочь" - is the most common form.

    You can also say "Вы счастливый человек - у вас такая прекрасная дочь".
    I know it's "MR" not "ME", but still: fix my english mistakes, please!

    If you could tell the parents "Greece is about to win this World Cup!" then you could also say "Вам повезло, что у вас такая прекрасная дочь"

    Sounds like stupid joke, but nice and funny. Just very informal.
