Ok but this is an interesting question.
If you rolled only sixes, you'd score 30 in the upper section, missing the bonus.
Then in the lower section you'd get 30 in each of 3 & 4 of a kind and chance (90 points) and 50 for the Yahtzee. One could make a case that it's a weird full house, but that's a stretch.
That's a total of 170 points. That's not going to do very well when 250 is often considered a minimum "good" score.
However…some rules give you an extra bonus for a second or subsequent Yahtzee. With that, you could actually win with all sixes. Just get 100 after 100 after 100 and end up with over a thousand points.
I'd looked up a score card first and there were precisely three checkboxes for extra, succulent, 100-point-scoring yahtzees. What I don't know is if this is a limit of the paper or of Hasbro's imagination for crowning human achievement.
