He deposited 2000*52=$<<2000*52=104000>>104,000 into his account

So he has 250000+104000=$<<250000+104000=354000>>354,000

His windfall is worth .5*354,000=$<<.5*354000=177000>>177,000 more than his current account

That means he got 177,000+354,000=$<<177000+354000=531000>>531,000

So he had a total of 531,000+354,000=$<<531000+354000=885000>>885,000
