I'll have a try, but hopefully someone else will know for definite!
Cuando de suerte se trata, haces lo tuyo. ( o quizas 'hace cada uno lo suyo.')

I think the second part is a bit awkward. "Haces lo tuyo" means, according to my understanding, "you do whatever comes into your head". But "you make your own" has the meaning of directing things, managing things in your life. - maria_k, Sep 11, 2010
So, I think that another translation is needed, something closer to the meaning of "make, direct, construct". - maria_k, Sep 11, 2010

No es nada fácil! Lo más literal que se me ocurre es: En cuestión de suerte, cada uno a lo suyo.
Menos literalmente: Si vienen bien dadas, aprovéchalo.
Muy, muy idiomático: Que te quiten lo bailao.
