to land on someone (in a draw or assignment), to be one's turnexpressionIn the context of lotteries, draws, or random assignments, 'tocarle a alguien' means that outcome fell to that person. It is not derived from the verb 'tocar' meaning to touch, making it non-compositional for learners who know only the physical sense.

to get one's hopes up, to kid oneselfexpressioncolloquialThe phrase does not mean to have illusions in a poetic sense. It specifically warns against building false or premature expectations. Very common in everyday speech when cautioning someone not to read too much into a situation.
No te hagas ilusiones con ese trabajo; aún no han tomado ninguna decisión.Don't get your hopes up about that job; they haven't made any decision yet.dar vueltas
to go round and round in one's head, to keep turning something over (mentally)expressioncolloquialUsed to describe an idea, worry, or question that a person cannot stop thinking about. Always refers to mental rumination in this usage, not physical turning.
Llevo días con esa pregunta dándome vueltas en la cabeza y no encuentro respuesta.I've spent days with that question going round and round in my head and I can't find an answer.
