Using sed, grep, awk, or ruby, what's a simple way to find the last match of a string in a larger log file, and send every line following it (inclusive) to another file?

Example:

grep -A222 "_____________" recent/toptrigs.OX.rb.log

is my nearest workaround, since 222 lines of context afterword should always hit EOF first, except that I want it to start from the last instance of "_____________" string. It's a logfile simultaneously growing from the same process (so I manually flush STDOUT and STDERR at the end of each item's loop, with this segment cutting in mind).
