Got paid more than i was supposed too?

So i have a part-time job. i get paid weekly, thursday nights. This week i only worked 12 hours so i should have gotten paid like $55 ( ETA- thats 55 after taxes, i make 7.75 p/h). I check my account this morning and they gave me $195 . What should i do? I know ratchet azz BHM gonna be like "keep that ish" but i dont want to some how get in trouble. I think my pay has been switched with someone else.

My options-

-Tell a manager about the problem, be a honest person.
-Keep that ish, i leaning strong towards this one.
- Maybe my pay got switched with someone else, and where i work its hard to get paid that much. What if the other person gets my measly check, tells management, they find it was switched with me, i look bad because i didnt say anything. Its a seasonal job and im trying to get kept after the holidays, i dont want to look bad already.
-Maybe it was a keystroke mistake and everybody got paid correctly, i just got a nice bonus by mistake and no one will ever find out

what should i do???

If you want to save your job, you will tell them because they will find out eventually.

Tell them, hun. Plus being honest makes you look great in their eyes!

Tell them. Or check ur payslip first, you may have gotten a bonus.

Maybe she's a waitress.
Don't judge

Tell your manager ASAP.  Use some logic on this one--thinking you can pull one over on your employers--who have accountants who will eventually go over their pay roll for tax purposes, is not a good idea at all.  Be honest so you can remain employable.  Nobody likes a thief.
