The WA town of Australind is basking in the fact it was the only place in the country to score the division one prize pool in Monday night's Lotto draw.
The winning ticket was sold at Australind News and Post and is worth a cool $1 million.
A 44 year old woman was home alone in the house at the time, one of the men held the victim around the neck, while the other stole items from the house.

In addition to Australind the other three regional wins were in Mandurah, Geraldton and Serpentine.
Australind News and Post owner Stephen Lucas said with regional WA doing it tough, he hoped the lucky winner was from the south west.

"Unemployment rates have skyrocketed, the economy has been tough and lots of people are still recovering from the fires in Yarloop and Waroona," Mr Lucas said.
"We all look out for one-another but it would be nice to know that we've helped change the life of a local."
Mr Lucas, who took over ownership of the store four months ago, said he hoped regional WA's run of Lotto luck would continue.
Tuesday's Oz Lotto draw is a whopping $20 million, followed by the $10 million Powerball jackpot on Thursday.
