Honestly, my immediate practical response would be: stick it into savings, or you actively need to replace something that is useful to your everyday life (as I did recently with my laptop, which is one of my writing tools of the trade). If we're talking a huge bonus, I would want to send money to our family's school overseas for impoverished children, and possibly establish an institution of learning and charity - such as a library, or school, or some other foundation that could provide good and knowledge to help others improve their means of living.  One of my biggest dreams for myself that I would then fulfill would be a move overseas, either to Korea, Ireland or Scotland. I dream of a small, sunny apartment with beautiful surroundings and an entirely different locale to explore.
