Report it now, if they find out later they could ask for it all back, and the longer you wait the more it will add up to be.
I am not spending the extra money, but setting it aside for as long as it is paid to me, so if they ask for it back nothing is lost. But if move on to another company before they discover their error, I would never pay them back.
You will get burned by acting like a fool. I've had an overpayment and before I even realized it they corrected it. By taking it out of one whole paycheck.
.....I am not going to say anything just to see what happens.
Seriously?

Your decision and comments show that you are NOT a professional, no matter how many people you try to convince.
happened to an employee of mine a few years ago when we were looking at him for a promotion... once the mistake was found out , he was asked, he used the same excuse you are planning to. He was terminated and required to pay every cent back.
OP, you are making the right decision to take the money and run. If they ever find out, claim ignorance.
It is smarts like this that you got you promoted in the first place.
Don't listen to the goody two shoes suckers who often post at this forum to make them feel good about themselves. They make me sick. We live in a grift economy, it is right to grab what you can, as our politicians, executives, and the welfare class do.

Where I live it is a crime to keep money that is paid to you by mistake. Even claiming ignorance, you may find that you are required to pay the money back whether you still work there or not.
I was once paid 30K into my salary - of course I alerted HR and gave the money back.
