Why is there one drawing for the whole lottery instead multiple drawings for a smaller amount?

Frank L asked:


I’ve see PowerBall lottery as well as individual lotteries and there’s always just one drawing. Sometimes just one winner, sometimes split among multiple if more that one has the same numbers. From a help-the-economy standpoint wouldn’t it make more sense to have one drawing for each million instead to spread the wealth?
