Well, this is a nice easy problem!

Suppose that one person gets 4 prizes(the maximum one can get).

Then, he can have ( 6 4 ) \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right) combinations of prizes. Also, the other 2 can have ( 2 1 ) \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) combinations of prizes for each combination, which means there are ( 6 4 ) ( 2 1 ) \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) combinations for 4 prizes for one guy. But there are three so, in total 3 ( 6 4 ) ( 2 1 ) 3 \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) combinations.

Similarly, we can find for 3 for one guy and 2 for one guy too such that when we add all of them, we get this-

3 [ ( 6 4 ) ( 2 1 ) + ( 6 3 ) ( 3 2 ) 2 + ( 6 2 ) 2 ] 3\left[ \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) \quad +\quad \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \begin{matrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right) 2\quad +\quad \left( \begin{matrix} 6 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right) 2 \right] \quad which is simply 540 \boxed{540}
