I have tried like this,
Case I: One 7 and two cards from {1,2,3,4,5,6}
$6C2=15$ ways.
Case II: Two 7's and two cards from {1,2,3,4,5,6}
$6C1=6$ ways.
Case III: Three 7's
$1$ way.
Case IV: Three cards from {1,2,3,4,5,6}
$3$ odds, $3$ evens. To get atleast 1 odd,
$3C1 \times 3C2 +3C2 \times 3C1=18$$3C3\times3C0[three\ odds]+ 3C1 \times 3C2[one\ odd] +3C2 \times 3C1[two\ odds]=19$
Hence, total possible ways is $15+6+1+18=40$$15+6+1+19=41$ ways.
