Se te acabó el chollo
 
This means that good life is finished more or less. ANy equivalents in English?
By extension we also say Que chollazo, means something really good and unexpected, for example a job, an amount of money, a good-looking partner etc...a good friend that pays all the bills at restaurant, anything good can be a "chollazo" do you have an expression in English for this word too.

"chollazo" here might be "a windfall" (money, etc.), or "a stroke of luck",
in the case of unexpected and pleasant circumstances.

Yes but if you have a friend with a lot of money, and pays all the checks at the restaurant, that´s not unexpected , and it´s a chollo/chollazo, believe me.

A real find I guess!
