The first prize is one million dollars, the second prize is one hundred thousand dollars, and the third prize is ten thousand dollars. Determine the total number of different ways in which the winners can be drawn. (Assume that the tickets are not replaced after they are drawn.)

There are 5,814 ways to select the three winners.
