Congratulations. I had TERRIBLE luck with the 11c. You won't have quite enough for DoN because of the fee. So best bet is the Fast Fifty. But there's still a decent amount of variance there. It's like a Step 2 or 3 all over again (beatable but variance with only one shot).
What I did (and it's more than understandable if you don't have the patience) is wait until I won 6 Steps (I think my goal was 4 and then playing out all my leftovers I ended up winning a couple more). That's excessive, but even as a winning player I didn't cash until my 3rd fast fifty (and even then it was min cash).
You can easily play a fast fifty right away and if you lose still have enough for 3 bumblebee rooms, but I'd recommend winning 1 or 2 more Step 3s first just so you can play a solid game and not worry about only having one chance. Even the softest game (i.e., Step 1) is far from a lock, as I'm sure you know. So suck as it might, it might be best to wait before taking the leap.
But you've invested nothing so at the end of the day, do as you please and have fun.
