You are asking a bunch of total strangers for investment advice because you expect to 20 times your money in 5 years? It can be done. Just buy 5000 dollars worth of lottery tickets. Make sure you play it all in a single draw if it is a lotto because the more tickets you buy the better your chance of winning a single drawing. You would be smart to take ever dollar in your checking account on payday and also take out a home equity loan. But absolutely make sure you buy as many tickets for the same draw as you can. You will probably get half of your money back so you won’t be completely broke after you finish crying. You will want to give whatever is left to your wife and hopefully you have some camping stuff in the garage because there is a vacant spot down by the levee between the beat up camp trailer and the couple living in their van.
“Living in a Van
Down by the River
with a Bucket of KFC!”

THATS A WINNER!
