last-child

I would like to use the following to target the last link (a) of the last ul inside my div. So this is what came to mind:

#menu ul:last-child li a {
       /*.....*/
}

I cant manually add a class to that element, and even if i wanted to do it dynamically i would still have to target the element the above way.

Any ideas why this is not working?

Thanks!
