If i invest in ?money market, is there any possibility that i might loose money?

Yes you could lose some money. Money market funds try to keep a price $1/share but there is no guarantee (no federal insurance like CDs or savings account). It is thus important to pick a Money Market Fund from a well-known company that will do whatever it takes to maintain its reputation and keep the $1/share value.
I believe (please double-check) that only one money market fund ever lost money (the shares ended with a value of 97 cents). Still the possibility of losing is there.

No. Unless there's some kind of run on the bank, which hasn't happened for nearly 100 years. Money market accounts are the safest investment in the world other than T-Bonds, and that's why they pay the lowest possible rate of interest.

No one has ever lost money on a retail money market fund sponsored by broker or mutual fund company.

Some money market funds have considerable exposure to Sub-prime credit swaps, you have to ask pointed questions to the firm from which you buy money market funds.
