'Win much good fortune', or perhaps even 'struggle for good fortune', which somewhat like the Buddhists mentioned above, deliberately puts the emphasis back onto human agency. I expect, though, that it is said in a slightly tongue-in-cheek fashion.

For myself, I am frequently guilty of making up things that were never, ever said. Slight deafness is the primary culprit "in my case."

I don't know how widespread it is, but I've heard it in both places. The emphasis was precisely on the fact that we have a will - that karma is not simply causes and conditions, but what we then do with them. Neither fully free will or determinism. I loved it when i heard it and i love it now, but.... I still use the traditional greeting more often than not. Why? Because it has a social meaning that simply indicates... "i wish you the very best," which is, in and of itself, a very nice sentiment. I guess for a day, I'd rather not remind an already insanely busy peoples to get busy, yet again!
