It literally means:
In many Latin languages, the ass is associated with luck, so “To have some ass” means “To be lucky“.
This is informal, so try to avoid using it at work or in any formal situation, use instead “Tu es chanceux” (You are lucky) or even more formal “Vous êtes chanceux“.
Let’s imagine the context allows you to say such things and you are talking with someone telling you an anecdote where he/she got super lucky. Then you can say: “Tu as vraiment du cul !” (You are really lucky!) or simply “Tu as du cul !” (You are lucky)
