I can actually calculate this but I'm not really that good with Math, it'd take me very long. x.x
As long as you get a unique number for each marble, you just plug the number of marbles into the left side of the chances:

500/10 for group 5
500/100 for group 4
500/1000 for group 3
500/10000 for group 2
500/100000 for group 1

This means you're guaranteed 5 group 4 items and 45 Miratete's Memoirs (it would be 50, but 5 of them are going to be group 4 instead). You'd have a 50% chance at group 3, a 5% chance at group 2, and a 0.5% chance at group 1 (and each of any of those you win, obviously, means you don't win something lesser).

There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.
