Oliver is at a carnival. He is offered to play a game where he rolls a fair dice and receives $\$1$ if his roll is a $1$ or $2$, receives $\$2$ if his roll is a $3$ or $4$, and receives $\$3$ if his roll is a $5$ or $6$. Oliver plays the game repeatedly until he has received a total of at least $\$2$. What is the probability that he ends with $\$3$?
