I choose the second as well because it´s very common in Mexico, but there is nothing wrong gramatically with the first one. It´s probably a regional usage.

The second would be my choice. I have never heard the first. Ever.

¡ Que mala suerte! is much more common. But as the previous answers say, you could use the other one but I've never seen it.

Both are correct and slightly different. How much bad luck (can you have) versus What bad luck (you have)
