"You should be so lucky" is a sarcastic phrase which means "it is unlikely to happen". Another example of this is in the old song "I should be so lucky". "You must be so lucky" has a completely different meaning.

+1 to what weasel says. The "should" is emphasising that you are *not* that lucky and this outcome is only likely if you *are* that lucky.

Thank you mates. That's interesting. What kind of tone may I speak in of this sentence? Should I put the stress on 'should'?
- Inglês (RU)
When you say it actually the stress is on "you"
