Is it possible? My last game ended like that. But I had Rook, 1 knight, 4 pawns and of course king, agains just the black king. ???? What does that mean? I was to promote my pawns also. and wasnt a stalemate....

Yep, you lost on time, but as he didn't have enough material to mate it's a draw.

You don't expect to win when you run out of time, do you?

If say, you have 1 knight, and 4 pawns, and a king and your opponent had only king and 1 pawn and you ran out of time--then you lose--that is how speed chess works.
