When finding out joyous tidings or upon hearing good news from a reliable source, one says a Bracha.
If it only affects oneself, then one says Shehechiyanu; "... who has kept us alive, sustained us and permitted us to reach this occasion."
ברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם
שהחינו וקימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה
שהחינו וקימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה
ברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם
הטוב והמטיב
If one cannot say the Bracha right away - due to an unclean location or hands - then one can say it later, as long as one still feel the joy.
Even if the joyful event will probably cause one trouble at a later date, one still says the Bracha.
