Powerball as social experiment

The 29 state Powerball Lottery is changing its rules in order to create larger jackpots. The rule change is minor-55 balls will be in the drawing instead of 53. I'd like to see them try something else, and just for one jackpot-require that winners choose the numbers in the order they are drawn. This would create an incredibly large jackpot that would take a long time to find a winner. I'd like to see the societal reaction to this stratospheric jackpot.
