Many router to one WAN?

Naive rookie shower-thought: what happens if I connect two routers to a single WAN?

Not chained, but something like: router1 / WAN <-> switch \ router2

Do I get two functional LANs with functional connections to the WAN? Or does ingress not 'know' which router to hit, so has only a 50% chance of going back to the right place?

What then if both routers served the same LAN(s), could this be used to effectively load-balance routing across the two?
