For returning that many rows, an index scan might actually be slower.
Maybe it's worth testing.  Try:

SET enable_seqscan=off;
EXPLAIN ANALYZE ...

and see what you get.  If it's slower, well, then be happy it didn't
use the index (maybe the question is... what index should you have
instead?).  If it's faster, post the results...
