Why does wasting more salt, which you then need to sweep up, give you good luck?

It's an old superstition. Spilling salt attracts demons, who try to sneak up on you, and throwing it over your shoulder will dispel them.

It's not to get good luck. It's to prevent bad luck, so that you can live in a balance of good and bad.
