Dice rolling game

Question

Consider a game where we are allowed to throw a dice 3 times, and we win an amount equal to the number on the dice. We are allowed to stop after any number of rolls and our payout would be the value corresponding to our last roll. However, if we roll all 3 times, we will only get paid the value of the last roll. What is our expected payout for this game?
