Donate a chunk to your favourite charity/cause. Personally I am a fan of GiveDirectly because their model is simple and efficient.

Be careful though, donating is not for everyone and charity should begin at home. By their own admission, OP has never handled this kind of money before so prudence should be the first priority. Maybe they can donate a chunk of it in a few years after it's been sitting in the bank for a while, but not right now.

I'm planning on giving $1000 to the EFF and $1000 to the FSF.
