The program starts by dealing the user two randomly picked cards and itself three randomly picked cards that are not revealed until Check Scores is clicked. The user may then draw one card. If the user and computer scores are both over 21, of if both are equal but under 21, the game is declared a draw. Otherwise, the winner is the one with the the highest score less than or equal to 21. If one score is over 21 and the other is 21 or less, the player with 21 or less is declared the winner. The result should be displayed in a message box.
