One out of 6 - yes but

- only in the long run

- if the number cube is perfectly even (i.e. not weighted) and

- thrown onto an unconstrained surface without bias or spin.

For example, you could improve your chances of throwing a 5 if you were able to roll the cube on its 5,1,2,6 surfaces - difficult but it would change the chances to a max of 1:4.

It might even be possible to spin a cube on its vertical axis with the 5 on top and just drop it on a surface and it remain 5-up and not bounce to another face - more possible with a heavy cube.
