EXACTLY!

The universe having a 1:1 chance of coming into being if this universe is the ONLY POSSIBLE UNIVERSE THAT CAN COME INTO BEING.

edit:

AND no other state of being can occur. Ie, there cannot even be a state of being where there isn't a universe. I don't think Rhythm's position meets this criteria.

I think you misunderstood. Taking the one ticket (one chance at making a universe) and saying that it is impossibly unlikely for it to win (universe arising by chance) is illogical when you have already seen that it is a winning ticket.
