The highest score I've ever seen

When I first wrote the Yahtzee game, it was not on a website, so it could not keep high scores. My mom played it though, and in one game got 632 points. Since it is not in the high score list, I put a screen shot of the game here as proof that it happened. She also had a game with 620 points and three other games that were above 500.
