There are 6*6*6*6 possible outcomes.
There are 4 "one 3 showing" possible outcomes.
There are 6 "two 3s showing" possible outcomes.
There are 3 "three 3s showing" possible outcomes.
There is 1 "four 3s showing" possible outcome.
Total outcomes of at least one 3 is 4+6+3+1=14
P=14%2F%286%2A6%2A6%2A6%29=14%2F1296=7%2F648
