Game ended in a draw with insufficient material, but should be a win due to time run out

MERCEDESIL

My opponent had a lots of material and I was left with just my king.
Time ran out for my opponent, which should have been a win for me, however the game ended in a draw.
How is that possible?

Yes. He had lots of material and you had only a king.

That meant that you could never have mated him in a million years.

So they call it a draw.
