Just my 2 cents:

import random

def rollDie(number):
    rolls = {1:0, 2:0, 3:0, 4:0, 5:0, 6:0}
    for i in range(0, number):
        roll=int(random.randint(1,6))
        rolls[roll] += 1
    return rolls

if __name__ == "__main__":
    rolls = rollDie(50)
    most_rolled = rolls[max(rolls, key=lambda i: rolls[i])]
    top_rollers = [k for k,v in rolls.items() if v == most_rolled]
    print('The dice rolled: %s' % (rolls,))
    if len(top_rollers) > 1:
        message = 'The sides with most hits are %s, with %i hits each.'
    else:
        message = 'The side with most hits is %s, with %i hits'
    print(message % (top_rollers, most_rolled))

# Sample output:
# The dice rolled: {1: 10, 2: 10, 3: 7, 4: 7, 5: 10, 6: 6}
# The sides with most hits are [1, 2, 5], with 10 hits each.
#
# The dice rolled: {1: 7, 2: 11, 3: 10, 4: 6, 5: 8, 6: 8}
# The side with most hits is [2], with 11 hits
