Anything is possible with enough time, a really really long time.

Current nethash 130TH/s, one block every 10 minutes, your 1kH/s so chance/10mins = 1k/130T = 1 in 130 billion.
Or 1 in a billion per day. Do you feel lucky, punk?

PS, actually better odds that some lottos. perhaps?

You can... if you have a couple of hundreds of years.
