When the jackpot reached a certain amount, say 500 million, they could switch from a winner takes all to essentially a raffle with 500 winners. I think it would greatly increase the number of tickets purchased when the threshold was met.

Isn't that kinda what the Windfall game did more or less?

This is what the windfall game in the article did. They were smart enough to buy as many tickets as possible during this raffle.
