"Lucky you" or "Lucky!" can also denote jealousy, envy or even admiration. It is sometimes even a combination.
Person 1: "I'm going to Paris tomorrow."
Person 2: "Lucky! I wish I was able to go to Paris."
(This conveys jealousy.)
Person 1: "I'm going to Paris tomorrow."
Person 2: "Lucky you! I would love to go to Paris."
(This conveys a combination of admiration and excitement for you being able to go to Paris, as well as a little bit of envy.)
