    Default Having trouble ending a game

    I had to make a minefield game for my java class, in which a user must click 10 squares without hitting the mine. I was able to make it so when the mine is clicked, all the other squares change their color and the game ends. However, i need to add a congratulatory message in the NORTH JFrame region when the user clicks 10 squares successfully. How would i go about doing this? I added an if statement for this,
    however it doesnt seem to be working, so i'm assuming i did it wrong.



      import javax.swing.*;
      import java.awt.*;
      import java.awt.event.*;
     
      public class Minefield extends JFrame implements ActionListener
      {
     
      	JPanel[] aPanel = new JPanel[20];
      	JButton[] aButton = new JButton[20];
      	int bomb = (int) (Math.random() * 100) % 20;
      	int counter;
      	JLabel bLab = new JLabel("");
     
      	public Minefield()
      	{
      		setTitle("Mine Field");
      		setSize(500, 500);
      		setVisible(true);
      		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      		setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 5));
     
      		for (int i = 0; i<aPanel.length; i++)
      		{
      			aPanel[i] = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 1));
      			aButton[i] = new JButton("");
      			aButton[i].setBackground(Color.BLUE);
      			add(aPanel[i]);
      			aPanel[i].add(aButton[i]);
      			aButton[i].addActionListener(this);
     
      		}//end forloop
     
      	}
     
      	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      	{
      		Object source = e.getSource();
      		counter++;
      		for (int i = 0; i<aButton.length; i++)
      		{
      			if(aButton[i] == source)
      			{
      				if(i == bomb)
      				{
      					aButton[i].setBackground(Color.RED);
     
      					for (int a = 0; i<aButton.length; a++)
      					{
      						if(a != bomb)
      						{
      							aButton[a].setBackground(Color.WHITE);
      						}
      					}
      				}
      				else
      				{
      					aButton[i].setBackground(Color.WHITE);
     
      					if(counter == 10)
      					{
      						bLab.setText("You win!");
      					}
      				}
      			}
      		}//end forloop
      	}
     
      	public static void main(String[] args)
      	{
      		Minefield b1 = new Minefield();
      	}
      }
