When is not known. However, about 500 meteorites hit the Earth every year, so just over one a day.
This question is about meteorites, not asteroids and that is another question - literally [See related question]

When is the next major meteorite?
Hundreds of meteors strike the Earth each day, and there is no way of knowing when or where one will strike. At this time, scientists are not aware of any meteoroids or asteroids that are on target to strike the Earth. So far, only ONE meteoroid has been detected with sufficient advance notice that we could track it. That meteoroid was detected in October 2008, and exploded over eastern Africa about 16 hours later. Not much warning!

Why do you think there are millions of impact craters on the moon and so few on Earth?
The Earth has had far more asteroid and meteorite impacts than the moon. Impact craters on Earth however are eroded by the atmosphere and water and also filled in by water and sediment. Since the moon has next to no atmosphere craters tend not to erode so they will always be visable.
