The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes.
So the sample space is any combination of any length from 1 to 5 followed by a 6.
You can see sample space as words in alphabet {1,2 ,3,4,5} which end in letter 6.
So you have
6,
16,26,36,46,56,
116,126,....556,
1116,1126,........5556,
.....
111111......16, .....555555555.....56,
