PS Dice Roll

Johnny the gambler tosses 6 plain dice. In order to win the jackpot he has to receive exactly 3 times a result of 5 or 6. What are Johnny's chances to win?

I'm not sure what exactly this question is asking. To win does he have to roll either 3 x 5s or 3 x 6s, or roll 3 x 5's or 6's?

Confused!
