Annihilate

I wanted to clarify a few questions about the card Annihilation. The card specifically states that the "target card must be in play when you use Annihilation on it." What constitutes a card being "in play". From the rules it seems very clear that any items affecting your character (class, race, items, permanent curses) are in play, as well as any monsters currently in combat (and any modifiers applied to them). What about a one-shot like Out to Lunch, or a GuaL card? This came to question when a player in my last game was one level from winning, and about to easily defeat a monster. Another player used Out to Lunch (which states that all monsters are discarded and the player in combat draws 2 treasures immediately) in order to prevent the game winning combat. The player in combat used Annihilation on the OTL card to ensure that his combat would be won, level gained, and game over. Is the OTL card "in play"?
