Hi, Some of them hold up a big trophy = a trophy is held by some of them This sounds like several people but only one trophy, because it would be unusual for each person to have a trophy. Some of them have a discount voucher = one discount voucher is owned by some of them? This seems more unclear, because it would no be unusual for eaxh person to have his or her own voucher.

What I mean how do I express "There are some people in the group with a voucher" (ie. Some people of the group; each with a voucher) to a sentence starting with "Some of them ..." without incorrectly implying "Some of them" having/sharing only a voucher.
