Most cryptocoins require 120 confirmations (additional blocks added to the chain) before the block reward is granted. I'm not sure about [Litecoin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litecoin), but if that's the case, and if you are solo mining, or if your pool doesn't take any chances, the first reward will be 120 confirmations after the first mined block.

And since blocks are mined about every 2.5 minutes, that's about 5 hours.
