Is the transmission toast?

so I'm coming back from bowling last night, I'm 50 feet from home and CLUNK! I lost all gears. First gear and reverse feel the same. It sounds like a bunch of marbles in a coffee can. The transmission fluid on this car was low when I got it, and it needs a quart of transmission fluid every few months. Before this happened gears 1,2 & 3 whined a bit but in 4 & 5 the transmission was quiet and smooth.
Is it typical to lose the transmission in one single catastrophic clunk? From what I've read it seems like people lose 2nd and 5th gradually and then finally the rest. Given that this car's transmission was probably used with low fluid I'm not too hopeful... oh yeah-- the car has 196,000
I love these cars, but I don't want to deal with a trans R&R. My daily driver may have just become parts car.
