I don't understand what does 可 means in 可不是 in the following sentence:

半个月的时间内啥事都不做也能摇身一变当上百万富翁,这种奇遇可不是天方夜谭,南京某高校大三学生小陶就遇上了这希罕事,一不小心就成了“百万富翁”。

or what does 可不是 as a whole means?

可 here has the meaning of "however", and it's also emphasis.

Becoming rich over night is like impossible, however this did happen to a student in Nanjing University...

another example:

要去你自己去,我可不去.

You can go as you want, (however) I am not going! (emphasis)
